ADHD Psychologists in Schenectady County, New York

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a mental health condition in which a person has a hard time focusing their attention and controlling restless or impulsive behavior. Although ADHD is most common in children, it affects many adults as well, and some individuals are not diagnosed with ADHD until they reach adulthood.

Everyone has trouble paying attention at times, and it’s normal to be restless in some situations. However, it can be helpful to seek the opinion of a healthcare provider if challenges related to attention and focus regularly interfere with your work or daily life. In such cases, a clinician can listen to the symptoms you’re experiencing and determine if a diagnosis of ADHD fits. There are many treatment options to help manage the symptoms of ADHD, and it can be helpful to discuss these with your provider to find the option that best fits your circumstances. Although psychologists’ approaches vary, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used as it is thought to be one of the most effective therapy types for managing ADHD.
